TB Testing

Tuberculosis is a highly contagious bacterial infection that primarily attacks the lungs. It can also affect the kidneys, brain, or spine. Although most people who contract the bacteria that cause tuberculosis will not develop any symptoms, testing is recommended if one has been in contact with someone who has had the disease. EZCare Clinic makes getting a tuberculosis test quick and easy. Walk-in tests are available to those who are required to get evaluated for or who are at increased of becoming infected.

Tuberculosis can be serious in some cases. In minor cases, patients will experience persistent coughing (occasionally with some blood), weight loss, fevers, and night sweats. Patients who have symptoms will have to undergo a long period of treatment, and sometimes quarantine, that involves various types of antibiotics.
